The Fun guitarist talks about the inspiration behind his latest solo project, Bleachers, while on location for his TIME photo shoot_  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Sep 28, 2015 7:21 PM UTC  Jack Antonoff of Bleachers Jack Antonoff of Bleachers Geordie Wood for TIME  by [Nolan Feeney](https://time.com/author/nolan-feeney/)  ## Nolan Feeney Sep 28, 2015 7:21 PM UTC Bleachers’ debut album _Strange Desire_ was already one of the best pop records of last year. Now, creator Jack Antonoff has recruited pop stars like Carly Rae Jepsen, Tinashe, Sia and Charli XCX to contribute to a companion covers album featuring only women artists. Some of the songs are completely new covers, while others are re-works and remixes of the original tracks that Antonoff worked on in collaboration with the artists. The album is [free to download](https://twitter.com/bleachersmusic/status/648493425751277568) on Google Play. **Read next:** [_Go Behind the Scenes of TIME’s Coney Island Photo Shoot With Jack Antonoff_](http://time.com/2966677/jack-antonoff-behind-the-scenes/) “I love female voices,” Antonoff [wrote on Twitter](https://twitter.com/bleachersmusic/status/648493425751277568). “I wish I had one. When I write songs I typically hear things in a female voice and then match it an octave lower so I can hit the notes…I like things sounding like a male version of what in my head was a female-sung song.” As the project’s name—_Terrible Thrills, Vol. 2_—implies, this is not the first time Antonoff has recruited women artists to re-interpret his work. Scarlett Johansson, Alia Shawkat, Tegan and Sara and others covered the last studio album Antonoff released with his former band Steel Train in 2010. **Read next:** [_Why Jack Antonoff of Bleachers Loves Writing Pop Songs_](http://time.com/2970439/jack-antonoff-bleachers-pop-music/) “The process making this was all over the place,” he explained. “This project took a year and tons of recording sessions and through that we all felt very proud something as intense as a full album could be given to the people who bought the original work as a further look into it.” As for why his pal Taylor Swift wasn’t involved—he contributed to _1989_—Antonoff [told the New York _Times_](http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/09/28/sia-and-charli-xcx-cover-bleachers-on-a-women-led-version-of-strange-desire/?partner=rss&emc=rss&%5Fr=0), “I never want anything I do to seem predictable. The point of this project was to express something that was coming from me through other people, and I’ve been lucky enough to do that with Taylor many times. The body of work that Taylor and I have put out there stands separately.” ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] I don't think of myself as a kid at heart. I think of myself as, like, an adult that was always trapped in a kid's body and now I'm, something trapped in some other body. [ LAUGH ] [ MUSIC ] I like wearing clothes that make me feel like a large child or you know, I like to feel like a seven year old who's allowed to dress themselves for the first time or something. My youth, in general teen years are a huge impression on the album. I went through a lot of important things in that time that really shaped the way I think and the way I write. [ MUSIC ] It's a very present album. If anything, a lot of it looks into the future sometimes by looking into the past. By looking at what I've been through, and then how I'm going to move forward. I was all about moving on, finding ways to move on without becoming overly damaged or overly complicated. I feel like I think about that all the time, how to push on, how to not leave too many of the pieces in the past, how to not take too many of them with you and become strange.
